Trinity Cathedral SacramentoBishop V. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church, stepped before the altar at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Sacramento on Tuesday afternoon and let the applause wash over him. …

He said it’s only a matter of time until gays and lesbians have the same rights as heterosexuals in the church.

“We know how it’s going to end,” said Robinson. “We’re only arguing over timing. I believe that with my whole heart.”
